I have just returned form Loglan meeting in SL. Five people were
there, including myself. As far as I know, this is the highest number
so far. Real chat in Loglan (mostly simple sentences) for a hour. I
have never learned TLI Loglan, but I can understand maybe one sentence
of three or four: Loglan prims are much easier to guess than Lojban
gismu (but only if you speak English, of course), and mapping from
Loglan short words to Lojban cmavo is easy to catch from the similar
sentence structure. I consider the following note from one of the
participants to be valuable enough to quote:

((I like practicing Loglan in the SL env because one can talkg about
things in th environment))
((in a chat channel your shared reality is just words))

To Dmirty: if you want to contact me in SL, try to send an IM to Cyril
Svoboda. Alas I have no permanent hours of being inworld.
